(A) It shall be unlawful for the owner or keeper of any dog or other animal when notified that such dog or animal has bitten or scratched any person, or has otherwise injured any person so as to cause an abrasion of the skin, or any dog or other animal suspected of having rabies, to sell or give away such dog or animal or to permit or allow such dog or animal to be taken away beyond the limits of the county, but it shall be the duty of such owner, upon receiving notice of the character aforesaid, to immediately place such dog or animal in a duly licensed veterinary hospital where such dog or animal shall be confined for a period of at least ten days for observation, or deliver, or cause to be delivered, any such dog or animal to the Police Department for such placement. In case such dog or animal is delivered to a veterinary hospital, notice of the name and location of such hospital shall be immediately furnished to the Police Department by the owner of such dog or animal, and upon receipt of such dog or animal, the veterinary hospital shall submit to the Police Department a certificate stating that such dog or animal either shows no symptoms of rabies or does show symptoms of rabies. If, at the expiration of the ten days of confinement in such veterinary hospital, the veterinary hospital shall submit to the Police Department a second certificate stating that the dog or animal does not have rabies, the dog or animal may then be released by the Police Department.
(B) If such dog or animal should die during the interval of observation, the intact brain shall forthwith be delivered to the laboratory of the State Department of Public Health.
(C) If, however, evidence is presented that such dog or animal has been inoculated against rabies within the time prescribed by law prior to the biting, such dog or animal shall be confined in the house of its owner or in a manner that will prohibit such dog or animal from biting any person for a period of ten days, unless in the judgment of the Police Department or a licensed veterinarian, circumstances are such that the dog or animal should be confined elsewhere. Such dog or animal so confined shall be examined by a licensed veterinarian on the first, fifth and tenth day during confinement. If, at the expiration of the ten day confinement, the veterinarian shall submit a certificate stating that the dog or animal does not have rabies, the dog or animal may then be released by the Police Department.
(D) Any expense incurred in the handling of any dog or other animal under this section shall be borne by the owner.
